Description:
The Engineering Fundamentals range enables students to gain an understanding of the principles of engineering by the process of learning via experimentation.
The Cam, Crank and Toggle experiments kit provides students with an introduction to cams and rollers and additionally crank motion and toggle.
The kit is designed to help students understand how cams are used, to show how the rotational motion of a cam is transmitted to the linear motion of a follower and how different shapes of cam can be used to achieve varying magnitude and duration of linear motion.
Similar to cams, a crank mechanism can transform rotational motion into linear motion although unlike cams, cranks can also work in the opposite direction, transferring linear motion into rotational motion.
Experimental Content:
- Relationship between the angular movement of a pear, heart, round and snail cam and the linear movement of the follower
- Characteristics of a pear, heart, round, and snail cam profile
- Show characteristics of a rotating crank assembly by observing the motion of the system and observe the change in turning moment with crank angular position
- Turning moments and forces during crank motion
